I don't know what this means, but for clarification it is mainly driven by your opponent which we have little control over, so if you have the 2nd highest score for the week and lose to the highest you would gain the maximum amount of bad luck for that week since you would have won ~ 95% of the time assuming a different random opponent, but lost. Basically any time you win without the highest score for the week or lose without the lowest score for the week it will nudge you one direction or the other.

Hey, last year I was extremely lucky in this league until the playoffs. This year is just karma balancing out.

I'm surprised I've been lucky as an 8-2 team with Cordarelle Patterson as the closest thing to a first-string RB I've had on my roster this season

I considered it but figured a half-dead Tua was already worth about as much as a half-dead Baker.

I apparently like to have many bad QBs on roster. Kyler Murray texted me a few weeks ago and told me he wanted to "make this difficult for me".

It's sort of like how you like to pick up and drop kickers. Speaking of which... shouldn't you be picking up Chris Blewitt (not on an NFL team) or Brian Johnson right about now? Then dropping them for like... Ka'imi Fairbairn? And then dropping him for like... I don't know, the ghost of Younghoe Koo? I'm disappointed.

More bored at work stats:

How far from your expected wins you are, based on your rank order by points each individual week. A negative number means you have been somewhat unlucky and are below your expected wins, while a positive number means you have been lucky and are above your expected wins. For example, Boudin Ballers is currently the unluckiest person in the league and should have 4.21 wins instead of 2, while Placeholder Name as the luckiest should have 6.05 wins instead of 8. It is not perfect because it assumes the schedule is truely random and does not take divisions and such into account, but it is good enough. The household that gets unlucky together stays together?

code:
1.95  	Place
1.58	Akron
1.42	Rated R
1.37	Flowers
1.11	Naptown
0.89	Electric
0.53	Kraft
0.53	Wash
0.53	Slug
0.47	Baller
0.11	Lock
-0.21	High
-0.37	Deflated

-0.79	NEDN
-0.95	Discount
-1.37	SEA
-1.74	PoM
-2.11	Taco
-2.21	Boudin

I dispute anything that suggests I’ve been any sort of lucky.

The good news is I'm only one game out of the division lead, and would make the playoffs if they started today.

The bad news is I'm going to get brutally stomped this week by the division leader, and my tenuous grasp on the postseason will be lost

I'm tempted to offer a trade of my entire team for your entire team, Jonathan Taylor and Justin Jefferson look like monsters right now

Think the only players I could conceivably move are Hollywood or Tyreek. I'd be looking for a downgrade at wr and a solid RB in return but not sure what that looks like in this league given that I think only 1 or 2 teams have any sort of depth. :sweatdrop:

Yeah, right now Placeholder Name has captured the Namath championship, Turkletons has clinched a playoff spot (likely the division too but not just yet) in the AFC. No clinches yet in the NFC.

I'm stunned to be at 9-3 right now. My rbs have been trash from day one and I've been swinging from backup to backup like Tarzan only it looks like I'm about out of vines.

Of course if last year taught me anything it's that a mid-tier team can go all the way on intensely stupid luck and one insane player performance. :sweatdrop:

I dropped Antonio Brown because he has yet again proven himself to be a loving dirtbag. It was a mistake to even have him on my team. He does not represent the Fraisers' brand. The Bucs should cut him and no other NFL team should sign him. No one should pick him up in this league either.
